"Very clean and had just about everything you needed! The gas heater kept the whole place warm but there were plenty of blankets to keep warm under too. Definitely would recommend for a weekend away!"

Our cabin has a long history dating back to being used as a railroad scale house. The property contains old railroad tracks used as walking trails along with miles of other walking trails

Great living space that is open to the loft which contains two beds. Private bedroom with a queen bed. Living space has a recliner and futon that can be used as a sleeping spot.

This is a cabin in the woods. You may experience deer, bear, turkeys, and other animals on the property. You also may see mice, spiders, or bugs as you are on a property in the woods. Please don’t hunt on the property. Thank you

We have bundles of fire wood available for sale. You are welcome to bring your own or use fallen limbs on the property, just please don’t cut down trees. We have some outdoor seating for the fire pit but would suggest also bringing your own along with some outdoor games if you wish!

Prefect for a weekend away! The shack had everything we needed. The loft bedroom was a hit for our 7 year old. Beds were comfy and there were plenty of blankets. We were able to walk into town and also explored the old rail lines. West side deli was prefect to sit outside and eat lunch. Quick drive to Loyalsock for hiking. Make sure you pack warm, it gets chilly! Deck was great for a cup of coffee in the morning. Really a cool little spot especially if anyone in your family loves trains.

We loved this littlw cabin, it was perfect for our family of 4 and 2 dogs. It sits off back away from the town life, but is close enough to walk to. Very quiet and peaceful. Loved sitting outside, especially in the morning enjoying the tranquility of listening to the stream of water coming from the creek just a few feet away. Cute little trails and a big enough yard to let your pets run. Beautiful rows of flowers bordering the yard, tall pines that give off the wonderful smell, and the sound of nature makes it perfect for the ones wanting to get closer to nature. The cabin is quaint in itself. The history of the place gives it its character. The loft is perfect for older kids but may be an issue for younger ones. The stairs to the loft is very steep. The bedroom has plenty of room for a couple. The shower is a bit small, not made for a large or tall person. The toilet sits very close to the wall and sits low. The shower itself is very tricky, it would go from hot to cold so many times back and forth. The kitchen table is small but big enough for all to sit at, but a bit on the wobbly side so have to be careful sitting at it. The chairs that go with it, 2 are ok, but the others are not suitable for anyone over a 120lbs. They are very unsturdy. The couch in the living room is very small and hard. Only 2 people can sit on it. The wifi never worked so we just didnt use it. Overall besides the small things I listed, it was a nice cabin. We did enjoy it very much. Well worth it!

My boyfriend and I stayed at this property this past week in September. There was very little communication about problems in the cabin. Including minor but extremely inconvenient issues due to either lack of maintenance or lack of communication. The sink sprayed me because the faucet was broken, they were out of sugar for the coffee bar, the place was really dusty and the bed sinks in the middle. There was also someone directly across the street that could be seen clearly from the back deck even though the cabin is advertised as a sort of forest getaway. Kind of disappointing but the bathroom and sheets were clean, there was air conditioning, and the decor was cute and welcoming.
